    You are saying in common / else in problematic bikes?

    In my case, I didn't felt any abnormal vibrations till some 110kmph

      I don't think I am having a problematic bike. It can go all the way to 117kmph. It may be due to perception.

            What was done? What was causing the vibrations?

              Vibrations are a trademark of honda. [emoji23][emoji23]

                Because, you have low sensitivity towards vibrations. Some people have low observation level. That's it, even honda svc told that it's common in 2018 model, so i will probably get rid of this machine. In the history of motorcycling in india, hornet has the worst reputation.

                  So they are still there, I assume. What did the SVC say? And, did senior Hornetian took a look?

                    Well... switching to some other bike is the individual choice.

                    If the vibration is not noticeable, then that's what i want (sensing even some minor vibration doesn't make sense_ aftral it's a bike, not a car). Still I admit the bike is smooth especially in mid-range

                    Btw, am a average human...if the vibration persists then I will admit, in my case, apart from the "little underpowered in low RPM" I don't find any major issues in hornet

                      According to svc it's normal, not able to meet Mr. Das due to my work.

                          Thank you... If you are located nearby my locality then at least you can compare with mine and come to some proper conclusion about vibration issue.. unfortunately , that's not seemingly possible

                          With all your frustrations towards hornet, I think soon you will switch to another bike.. probably Apache 160 or 200 4v, Am I rite

                          In my opinion, if you are planning to switch, it will be better if u consider bikes on or above 250cc, if you are a power lover

                          Sometimes even I feel bored of 160cc power when my city is flooded with KTM 390s , Apache 310s and other above 250cc powered machines (I don't like RE bikes)

                          Due to money constraint, was in a stage to stay with present bike for atleast next few years

                          Hopefully, will upgrade to a high powered machine one day...

                              Sure, but probably will take some time

                              In my home they will kill me, if I speak about other bike they are forcing me to buy car in next few years

                              But, BIKE have/will have a special place in my heart always [emoji176]
